Know Before You Go
Dining Guidelines
Nicky’s On The Bay has a zero-tolerance policy towards offensive language or behavior of any kind from guests toward other guests or our staff. Guests who violate our decency policy will be asked to leave the premises.
We ask that you arrive no more than 15 minutes before your reservation time. Additionally, we offer a 5-minute grace period. If you arrive after our grace period, seating may no longer be guaranteed, and you may need to wait longer until we can accommodate new seating arrangements for your party.
If a significant amount of time has passed, we may ask to accommodate your party at the bar out of consideration for other guests who are on the waiting list or have reservations. We typically will not make this request less than two hours after you have been checked in for your reservation.
No external decor is permitted in the restaurant without prior authorization.
No-shows will be charged a cancellation fee.
No outside food or beverages are permitted in the restaurant without prior authorization.
No external decorations are allowed in the restaurant without prior authorization.
We request that you notify your server of any allergies. Not all ingredients are listed on the menu, and we cannot always guarantee there will be no cross-contamination.
Nicky’s on the Bay requires a $5 per person cake cutting fee, $40 corkage fee.
Pet Policy
In accordance with New York State Public Health Law § 1352‑e, and to maintain the highest standards of health and safety for our guests, pets are not permitted anywhere on the premises, including both indoor and outdoor dining areas.
We kindly ask all guests to refrain from bringing animals to the restaurant unless the animal is a trained service dog as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Emotional support animals, comfort animals, and pets do not qualify as service animals under ADA regulations and are therefore not permitted.
We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to ensure a safe and compliant dining environment for all guests.
Outdoor Dining
1. Dining Location
While we do our best to honor seating requests, please note that specific dining locations (indoors, outdoors, etc.) are not guaranteed and are assigned based on availability at the time of your reservation.
2. Outdoor Reservations & Weather Disclaimer
If you’ve reserved an outdoor table and the weather turns unfavorable, indoor seating is not guaranteed and is subject to availability. If you’ve booked outdoor dining, we recommend dressing appropriately for the weather, as these tables are fully open-air.
